Lukshen Kugel Recipes

Steps:

• Cook noodles in a large pot of boiling water, according to package directions. Rinse the noodles with cold water and let drain in a colander.
• Beat the eggs in a large mixing bowl. Add the vanilla, sugar, sour cream, softened cream cheese, cottage cheese, and applesauce and beat with an electric mixer until combined.
• Use a wooden spoon to stir in the drained noodles, nutmeg, cinnamon, raisins, and melted butter, mixing well to coat.
• Using a rubber spatula, spread mixture evenly into a 13 x 9-inch baking dish. I transfer the kugel to a foil-lined baking sheet to catch any overflow.
• Make the topping: in a medium bowl, combine the crushed frosted flakes (or cornflakes) with enough melted butter to moisten. Add a little cinnamon if you like.
• Spread evenly over the top of the kugel.
• Cover with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated 350F degree oven for one hour.
• Uncover and bake an additional 30 minutes, checking frequently to make sure top does not burn (cover if top is getting too crispy, and bake until done).
• Let kugel cool slightly before cutting into squares to serve. Makes 12-24 servings (depending on size of squares). May be eaten warm, cold, or at room temperature.Enjoy!

Steps:

• Cook noodles in boiling water 10 minutes. Drain.
• In a large bowl thoroughly mix noodles with the next 9 ingredients.
• Press into a buttered pudding dish. Dot with butter and bake in a 350 degree oven 30 minutes or until brown.

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the egg noodles, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue cooking and stirring until the onion is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes more. Combine the noodles, onion, eggs, remaining vegetable oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Pour mixture into an 8-inch square pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until firm, about 35 minutes.

Steps:

• Cook noodles and drain.
• Mix together next nine ingredients.
• Add cooked noodles.
• Pour into greased 9 x 13 inch pan.
• Mix the topping ingredients together and sprinkle over kugel.
• If desired, you may increase the amount of topping ingredients proportionately to make an even sweeter, crunchier top.
• Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• For the topping: Put the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, and mix them well. Set the topping mixture aside.
• For the kugel: Cook the egg noodles in a 5-quart or similar pot following the package directions. While the noodles are cooking, drain cherries and mandarin oranges in a colander, and rinse them slightly with cool water. When the noodles are done cooking, drain them well, and return them to the pot off the heat. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Coat a 9"x13" baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or grease it well.
• In a food processor(fitted with a steel blade) or a blender, combine the sour cream, cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and eggs. Process until the mixture is completely smooth, about 1 minute or longer, scraping down the sides of the container once or twice. Pour the mixture over the noodles, then stir the noodles gently with a large spoon so that the cream cheese mixture is evenly distributed. Add the drained cherries and mandarin oranges, along with the pineapple, and gently stir so that the fruit is evenly distributed.
• Transfer the noodle mixture to the prepared baking dish. Smooth the top, pushing down any cherries that have floated to the top. Sprinkle all of the reserved cinnamon-sugar topping over the top of the kugel.
• Bake the uncovered kugel at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until set. Let it rest for at least 10 to 15 minutes before cutting it. Serve warm or at room temperature, cut into squares.
• Notes: If the kugel is made ahead, let it cool to room temperature. Then cover the top tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate or freeze the kugel. Defrost it, covered, in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight. Shortly before serving the kugel, reheat it, covered, in a microwave oven or a 350 degree oven until warmed through.
• Also, try to use the mandarin oranges canned in syrup. They hold their shape better than those canned in juice. For this recipe, all the syrup is drained off. And again, don't use non-fat sour cream or cream cheese.

Steps:

• Set oven to 350°F.
• Butter a 13x9-inch baking dish.
• In a large mixing bowl combine the cottage cheese, sour cream, milk and half of the melted butter (1/4 cup).

• Add in the cooked noodles and raisins; mix with wooden spoon to combine.
• transfer to the prepared baking dish.
• Drizzle the remaining 1/4 cup butter over the mixture.
• In a small cup mix together 2 tablespoons sugar with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon then sprinkle over the top.
• Bake for about 1 hour or until lightly browned.

• 4. Pour into 9x9 inch pan ( presprayed with non-stick spray).
• 5. Bake at 375 degrees f, covered with foil for 40 minutes then remove foil and bake 15 minutes more.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rapid boil. Cook egg noodles at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 9 minutes.
• While the egg noodles are cooking, combine sour cream, cream cheese, 1/2 of the melted butter, milk, sugar, eggs, and vanilla in a bowl; beat with an electric mixer until creamy.
• Drain egg noodles and fold into the sour cream mixture. Spread evenly in the prepared baking dish.
• Mix cornflakes, brown sugar, and remaining melted butter together; spread over the noodle mixture.
